me play devil's advocate (as I often do)...

Not necessarily passive. Look at what TV and movie fans are doing in
fanvids and fan fiction. Their "responses" are not shown alongside the
originals on TV, but, with IPTV, it would certainly be possible to do
so (leaving aside legal issues...).
And, really, how interactive is the average vlog or blog? Of the
thousands of people who read a popular blog, how many are active
responders? And how many other readers actually care? Yes, I have seen
long arguments evolve in the comments section of some popular blogs,
but... I'm not convinced that these are enduring or valuable
conversations, most of the time.
Vlog kudos feel nice for the video producer, but how useful or
interesting is that for the rest of the world to see? There have been
a few examples of vlog conversations in video, but not many that I've
noticed or heard of in here.

Suppose you could submit a video comment to a video that you watched
on your TV? Does it then become a vlog?
